God is sooo faithful! It is times like the time that I am in now that I stand in wonder and awe at how faithful He REALLY is!

There are times when I KNOW He will come through...times that He works when and how I think He should, based on His promises...

But at times like this, when He works in ways that I never could have imagined, I am in awe!

I have been studying Genesis on Monday nights with a set of ladies from my church...we are actually working our way completely through the Bible and are now in Exodus...however I was struck by the life of Joshua.

He is favored by his father, Jacob, because of the favoritism his brothers HATED him...he was thrown into a well by his brothers, sold by his brothers and eventually taken to Egypt, was blamed for things he didn't do, went to prison, stayed there for years, then lived in Egypt finding favor from the Pharoah...

It is quite a feat for me to make it through some DAYS without complaining...however Joseph, had such a difficult life...his BROTHERS treated him horribly.

When it came time for him to reveal himself to his brothers, as they did not recognize him when they approached him, the governor of the land, he forgave them by accounting all that happened to God being in control and having a plan.

To have faith like that is so commendable...I pray that faith that Joseph so readily had would be in me when the times come that aren't so easy.

I pray that I would see obstacles as stepping stones and trials as blessings...

SUPER sorry I haven't blogged for a while...I haven't had anything to say really...

Honduras was such a high...and coming down from such a high is sometimes overwhelming so I guess I have just not had the words to say and quite frankly I was still processing all that God was teaching me through the experience.

God is so good! Like, I can't even express the gratitude I feel toward Him in my life right now...and is gratitude even a strong enough word? Probably not! :)

So, I have a prayer request. I don't want to say too much here but I am really praying about a certain opportunity that has been knocking a little bit. One that I wasn't really expecting but I am not gonna lie I was kind of hoping for it, just not in the exact way it is forming...probably because God knows better than me!

So, please pray that God would lead me in the way HE wants me to go about taking advantage of the opportunity I speak of...I shall hopefully let yall know more later...until then enjoy some fall pics I took today!

About Me

God is my EVERYTHING...I am learning day by day as I strive to allow Him to lead me. I have fallen in love with photography, coffee is one of God's greatest creations after life and love, and God's Word, worship, and laughter are my greatest outlet!
